South African Youth: Cuban Youth wants to send you a warm greeting message to commemorate this April 27 the 20 anniversary of the end of the apartheid regime. For Cubans, South Africa is not a legend of the past, is an essential part of Cuban history. Our people is heir of bravery, courage and resistance culture of a continent like Africa, which has been heroically debated for centuries to overcome challenges that still remain.

COSATU condemns the territorial aggression of Cuban sovereignty by the US government, through its arm, USAID. According to revelations by the AP News Agency, USAID covertly developed and operated a social network similar to twitter in Cuba, called Zunzuneo, meant for regime change and destabilization in the country.
They went on to illegally use platforms from the systems of the Cuban Telecommunications Company, ETECSA for such subversive activities. The project is said to have targeted young people of about 40 000 subscribers, wherein they gathered their private data for such purposes. They aimed to instigate mass gatherings, promote internal subversion, destabilization and the eruption of a national crisis for the US regime change agenda to succeed.
According to a statement released on the 14th April, 2014 by the Cuban embassy, "ZunZuneo" has not been the only platform that has operated for that purpose. Others such as "Piramideo", "Martinoticias" and "Diario de Cuba" are still active and receive multimillion-dollar budgets each year. All of them have the common goal of trying to create an artificial opposition and bringing about a change of the political system in Cuba that would be compatible with the interests of the United States government and against the will of the Cuban people”.
COSATU condemns these cowardly and illegal acts that undermine international law, peaceful co-existence and territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Cuban people and the world as a whole. We have seen the same kind of political destabilization by the US in Venezuela, Chile, Nicaragua and other states where US foreign policy sought to overthrow democratically elected regimes and install puppet and surrogates of Washington in the name of democracy.
We reaffirm our demands for the release of the remaining Cuban heroes in US jails and an immediate end to the US embargo against Cuba.
